Help! Overclocked too much again!
Help! Overclocked too much again!
I increased two parameters in my BIOS related to base clock speed, but now my computer keeps crashing during startup and I can't reset the settings before it crashes. I don't know how to fix this and can't use my computer until I resolve the issue. Help needed.
Reset your CMOS directly from the motherboard jumper.
Your motherboard manual should have a section explaining this process, which will return you to the default setting.
Thank you, I’m trying it now. I unplugged my battery from all components on the motherboard and its power supply, turned it off, and plan to wait about an hour before using a fork (without a CMOS jumper) to jump the CMOS. Hopefully it works.
You can reset your CMOS by adjusting the motherboard jumper directly. The manual should provide instructions, and this will return you to the default setting. You don’t need to remove your power supply or unplug all devices; simply disconnecting the connections should suffice.
Review your manual for CMOS/BIOS reset connections (typically near the battery), as simply removing the battery might not be sufficient. Before proceeding, disconnect the main power from the PSU and press the start button for a short time; this should discharge all capacitors and effectively reset your BIOS.
